My puppy vomited plastic, is lethargic and cold. What do I do?

Question

My 6 month old pup threw up about 5 or 6 times in a row, of these includes regurgitation. He vomited some kind of black tarp or plastic that he must have tried to eat. He's extremely lethargic right now, he's not moving, save the occasional head tilt. His body feels cold, not warm in the slightest. He's managing to drink some water but will not eat any food. What do i do? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 6 months and 1 day old | 70 lbs

It sounds as Leo is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to the ingestion of the plastic foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal upset he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
